I'm Beth Hoover, and today I'm going to show you a neutral shoulder press for the medial deltoids. Performing a neutral shoulder press for the middle fibers of the deltoid is a great way to work that muscle group and it's also going to be safer for the shoulder joint. Today I'm going to show you how to perform a neutral shoulder press using the proper technique. What you're going to need is a set of dumbbells. Holding the dumbbells from a standing position, the palms are facing inward for the neutral grip. You're going to take the dumbbells, we're going to bring them up to your shoulders. This is a starting position with your elbows in, you're going to press all the way up and extend and then lower, pressing up again, extend and lower making sure you don't lock out the elbow joint, keeping the abs right and exhale as you press up.
